The internet began as ARPANET in 1969 to link government researchers in the United States. This then evolved into the World Wide Web in the 90s, which is the foundation of today's internet. Throughout the 2000s, various websites and social networks further increased the reach of the internet, allowing more and more people from all over the world to access and share information.
